The Duke of Somerset, Aldgate

Popular bar with outside area suitable for summer days. Cheap and cheerful. Usually shows the mainstream sports on its numerous flat screens - one being outside.

Improving after its lack of cleaning and hole in the floor near the bar area. Pushes food heavily so smells of cheap vinegar. Cheap as chips though, so always worth a visit when money gets low at the end of the month though get there early as occasionally rammed to the rafters.

The White Swan, Aldgate

Small but pleasant. Good range of beers and tidy food. Could be described as a village pub in the city. Recommended.

Old school English pub that is off the main road. No music so a good place to talk and not be crushed.

Ye Three Lords, Aldgate

Downstairs part (if open) is quite unique and is a favourite with city goers. Can get very busy so is obviously popular. Sometime you may find yourself staring at the bar staff too long as some are very juicy.

Small, atmospherical place with hard working bar staff with too many punters shoehorned into a limited space. Not bad, but better around.
